Anticyclolysis
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003562
The process of weakening or dissipation of an anticyclone, a high-pressure system. This occurs when the factors maintaining the high pressure, such as upper-level convergence and subsidence, diminish. Anticyclolysis often leads to a breakdown of stable weather patterns and can precede the arrival of frontal systems.
